Page 17 SANITIZED SUBMISSIONBismuth nitrate oxide is a critical proprietary degradation inhibitor in Aramid-based insulation sheets, which are used for stable insulation

properties in high temperature electrical systems. The Aramid-based insulation sheets are used to replace mineral fibers such as asbestos and glass in electrical systems.
